The discussion inside Malibu City Hall over whether to become a sanctuary city last week bore the usual hallmarks of the heated national debate over illegal immigration.

… The idea was inspired by one of the town’s many famous residents: actor Martin Sheen. In December, he grabbed the lectern during a City Council meeting and — as if conjuring his inner President Josiah Bartlet from “The West Wing” — urged the city to become a sanctuary city.

Like many sanctuary city resolutions, Malibu’s is largely symbolic. Backers said the move, which passed on a 3-2 council vote, is a chance for Malibu’s privileged to stand up for the city’s vulnerable population.

The city’s “population” that doesn’t actually live in the city, to be precise. The city of Malibu possesses 21 miles of oceanfront, but the population has never been allowed to reach 13,000.

Malibu has been world famous for about 60 years, but practically nobody lives there because the voters who currently live there like it that way. That’s because they are environmentally conscious and thus don’t want tacky commoners from Encino moving in. In contrast, you aren’t in favor of Open Borders for your country because you are a racist xenophobe, you hater, you.

Downtown Malibu consists of the city hall and a big vacant lot that Rob Reiner and Barbra Streisand won a referendum over in 2014 to keep somebody from opening a Whole Foods in it because people who live in Malibu have interns who can drive to the Calabasas Whole Foods for them. At the bottom of the screen is the Pacific Ocean and just above it is the Perenchio Golf Course. Jerry Perenchio isn’t Hispanic, but he used to own Univision, so he is still your moral superior.

Malibu is about 92% white and one of L.A. County’s wealthiest cities.

Everyone agrees the city has workers who are not authorized to be in the United States, and they tend to serve the food at upscale eateries, clean the beachside mansions, look after children and keep the landscaping looking lush. …

Only about 6% of Malibu is Latino, according to the 2010 census. …

But residents say a good chunk of the service workforce is Latino. … “Heck … we would be paralyzed and no one’s houses would be cleaned,” the former surf shop owner said.

On the other hand, the good people of Malibu aren’t going to let their illegal alien servant class make their unsightly homes in Malibu. Dealing with them and their families when they aren’t working is your job, you nativist hater you.

Juan Escobar 32, makes sure the Malibu Country Mart, a collection of upscale boutiques, stays in tip-top shape. … He commutes to Malibu from Compton.

It’s only 40.2 miles each way from Compton to Malibu. That’s 2 hours and 16 minutes by public transportation.

Malibu is a very long bus ride with some transfers and much waiting around for many of the workers. That is part of the time tax paid by non-driving service people in Malibu (and elsewhere in SoCal). At least part of the ride to Malibu has a nice view along the ocean.

Here on the outskirts of the Imperial Capital, a 14-year old girl was raped in her high school by two illegal alien boys, 17 and 18. It happened in Rockville in Montgomery County Maryland, which is a sanctuary county. The local officials here are adamant that their policies are not to blame, and Democratic lawmakers in the state legislature are doubling down on the sanctuary policy. By law, the schools have to accept these undocumented immigrants at their word that they are teenagers and live in the school district. Meanwhile, American citizens are put in jail for sending their kids to another school district that’s not as crappy as the one where they live. Welcome to our glorious modern world.

By law, the schools have to accept these undocumented immigrants at their word that they are teenagers

I'm surprised the "boys" didn't also say they are girls. No good-thinkers could argue against it and it makes the sexual assaulting so much easier.

To loop back to the main topic. One only hopes that when the bitter fruit of effortless altruism finally does ripen for the good people of Malibu, it only involves thoughtlessly hateful slugs like Rob Reiner and not any innocents like this 14 year old girl.

Once in the halls of academia, or working in the private sector, minorities still face inequalities. In 2016, the National Science Foundation reported a substantial pay gap between non-Asian minorities and white STEM workers at every level of educational attainment:

Hilarious. Asians, who are a true minority at around 5% don't count as "minorities" like blacks and latinos who are actually so large that combined they rival whites as a plurality. It's more and more like South Africa.

In 24 States, 50% or More of Babies Born on Medicaid; New Mexico Leads Nation With 72%

As a generalization, the Medicaid/birth statistics seem to suggest that women who can afford health insurance are not having babies ... or they would not be on Medicaid. Therefore, the statistics suggest that career women who work for companies that offer health insurance are not having babies. Therefore, the statistics seem to suggest that there are anti-natalist factors at work among women who work for companies that offer health insurance.

A prominent member of the Trump administration was in New Hampshire yesterday. A very distinguished looking man with a full winter beard told this Trump administration person to get rid of Paul Ryan.

President Trump must turn to Attorney General Jeff Sessions for good, solid political advice and wisdom. Now would be an excellent time for President Trump to float the idea of an immigration moratorium to give Sen. Cotton's immigration reduction proposals some running room.

New Hampshire is being inundated with REFUGEE OVERLOAD. President Trump should announce the immediate suspension of all refugee importation and the immediate repatriation of all current refugees.

Wisconsin is #6, Minnesota #35, even though the states are near twins demographically and economically. Something else is going on here as well.

Also, some of these subsidized births may be to married, stay-at-home moms, who'd pay dearly were they to be in the workforce but qualify for Medicaid (or other aid) if not. Smart choice, I'd say. And a rare case where welfare spending might lead to improvement.

I strongly suspect my smart, stay-at-home wife gamed the system for our third child while her far more libertarian husband averted his nauseous glaze. But, hey, if it's a choice between they-pay-for-us or we-pay-for-them...

In this environment, cynicism not only pays, it's necessary for survival!

Since “white” has become general shorthand for “non-Hispanic white”, and since Hispanic whites are generally genetically and culturally more similar to non-Hispanic goyim than Jews are, logically we should separate Jews from the huwyte category. Once we have done that, it will be interesting to see how “white” Malibu is.

This sounds quite similar to a whiskey-fueled conversation I was having with a friend last night. Minus the slight air of legitimacy provided by the British accent. Which frankly made us sound even more ridiculous. Bourbon, mind you.

Here’s a list of notable people that reside in Malibu from Wikipedia : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_from_Malibu,_California
No wonder so many seem to be detached from reality when you live in your very own cocoon. Perhaps it is time to start a petition to begin Federal refugee resettlement to Malibu, the people living there certainly have the means to support a few families.

This story reminds me of the flap in Cambridge, MA a few years ago in which all the prominent Harvard liberals banded together to exclude a small neighborhood private school that would have had a few black students.

Such a perfect example of progressive piety – virtue signaling with absolutely no actual sacrifice or consequences for the good people of Malibu, who know full well they won’t have to actually welcome illegals as actual residents of the community.

Reminds me a bit of The Road to Wigan Pier, in which Orwell repeatedly notes that the upper middle class socialists who advocate revolution on behalf of the lower class actually don’t like them very much and don’t want to give up the privileges of their station in life no matter what happens.

Malibu has a population of 13,000. There are apartment complexes in Manhattan with populations that get into the thousands, plus lots of wealthy privately owned communities in exurbs around the country, many of them retirement communities, with populations equivalent to that of Malibu.

An apartment complex in Manhattan or a retirement community in Florida is free to proclaim itselt a “sanctuary apartment” complex, and other people are then free to give them much deserved ridicule. Its just not that important.

My question is, why is Malibu allowed to incorporate?

Having rich people band together and keep non-rich people out of a particular location is the American way, and on a small enough scale is probably not that harmful, and Malibu is small enough. But these places shouldn’t be allowed to call themselves “cities” and be free from the ordinances and taxes of the surrounding real cities. Malibu should be part of unincorporated LA County, part of the City of LA, or even part of wealthy Santa Monica (population of about 90,000), and more importantly subject to the laws and taxes of any of these governments.

No, no, no. We should all be allowed to be like Malibu. Locals banding together to conserve their sense of place and tradition is a good thing. That said, it would be nice if Malibu residents reconciled their leftist public rhetoric with their conservative, even aristocratic lifestyles.

The most hypocritical of Malibu residents is Kevin Shenkman, a lawyer who has been sallying forth from his coastal paradise to force lower middle class suburbs into implementing district voting, so as to maximize Latino power over local politics.

I’ve long thought Trunp should use the housing of refugees , particularly Syrian type refugees, as a weapon, just like Obama did. This seems a perfect opportunity, he should announce he’s sending 5000 on Monday, and enjoy the reaction.

You got it. To cater to the wishes of Malibu residents and their desire to harbor illegals, 5000 Syrians will be resettled there next week by the federal government.

Jerry Brown wouldn't object, right?

Steamroller those liberal hypocrites, shoehorn them right into Malibu. Stick 'em in public facilities for starters and set up tents. Find every Malibu rental, and stuff 5, 10, 20 or whatever will fit. Sink the place.

Please don’t tell me that Malibu does not have Affordable Housing!?! That would be extremely unprogressive and unstylish of them. Is this not mandatory for every liberal leftist communist utopia? I absolutely shall have a case of the vapors if I learn that Malibu does not have affordable housing!! I need to sit down and make a nice cup of tea and get my head around this.

I also am thinking that Laguna Beach does not have Affordable Housing (using upper case b/c this is damned important). No A.H. in Laguna! What the hell kind of liberal leftist communist utopian paradise are they running out there!!??!

We used to summer back in the Fifties and Sixties in both Laguna Beach and Malibu. The former was infinitely preferable, and I still don't understand why anybody thought it a good idea to make Malibu anything more than a strip of beach apartments (which, in fact, it basically remains, even if the apartments are now multi-million dollar "homes").
Laguna was something of an artist's colony and had a beach which was filled with coves and rock pools teaming with fish and eels and crabs which we used to catch with our bare hands (the eels being the most fun to handle). The housing stock was picturesque and most houses had orange and avocado groves, often frequented by the most beautiful ruby-throated hummingbirds. The restaurants were already French and high quality Italian and Mexican, and the adults would often wear evening dress for cocktail hour. Hollywood's English colony loved the place and had never heard of Malibu (which, if they went North, they drove through on their way to magical Ojai).
Malibu in contrast had surfers, most of whom were from the Valley.
Enough said.

And, have the Malibu city fathers (oops- microaggression) moved that trailer that is at 40 Cove Road? There are more weapons discharged and squealing tires at that address that all the rest of the city put together.

And, have the Malibu city fathers (oops- microaggression) moved that junky old trailer that sits at 40 Cove road- there are more shootings and squealing tires there than in the rest of the city combined!

Since "white" has become general shorthand for "non-Hispanic white", and since Hispanic whites are generally genetically and culturally more similar to non-Hispanic goyim than Jews are, logically we should separate Jews from the huwyte category. Once we have done that, it will be interesting to see how "white" Malibu is.

Logically we should separate people who call themselves huwyte from the white category. Once we have done that, it will be interesting to see how “white” the average trailer park is.

No idea what trailer park demographics actually are, but the Guardian had an amusing report on the business of renting out lots to mobile home owners. The caveat? As is usual with the Guardian, it is probably, in varying amounts, leaving out relevant information and shading what data exists to fit its lefty ideological bent. The Atlantic had a diametrically opposed article on the benefits of the mobile home sector.

Been there a few times. What I think is hilarious is how PCH (Pacific Coast Highway) runs right over their heads — plus the way they’re all crammed together, side by side, just so they can be in front of the water.

It’s not the real world, and it’s not even the best place to be on the beach. The word stupid comes to mind.

What a pity to let a big vacant lot in downtown Malibu go to waste! Instead, why not have them build there a big apartment complex for vibrant Section 8 renters to enrich Malibu with their diversity? Half of the apartments could go to guetto African-Americans or MENA rapefugees, and the rest for the Mexican servants rich residents of Malibu can’t do without. I know that’s what Martin Sheen and other Malibu liberals really have in mind. Let’s help them fulfill that dream!

Antifa doesn’t attack Malibu because the issue in America is race. More specifically it is the white-hating racism that defines the modern political left. In that the rich bigots of Malibu are allies of antifa. It doesn’t matter if they are rich capitalists or bigoted toward Mexicans. Thus there’s little real hypocrisy in Malibu’s actions since the program is the extermination of whiteness (and the people who carry it) , not some bullshit about diversity. To the left a neighborhood that is 98% Hispanic is a diverse neighborhood. The Malibuians are down with the real program.

Trump should build a massive federal refuge center in Malibu. If we have to have them these people should bear the burden.

Malibu has a population of 13,000. There are apartment complexes in Manhattan with populations that get into the thousands, plus lots of wealthy privately owned communities in exurbs around the country, many of them retirement communities, with populations equivalent to that of Malibu.

I hate L.A. I have never been within a thousand miles of L.A., but I still hate it. Randy Newman loves L.A. and hates short people. Malibu and L.A. County are in need of some presidential political attention.

President Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions should use L.A. County and Malibu as an example to encourage other “sanctuary cities” and “sanctuary jurisdictions” to get right with the law. President Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions should begin deporting all illegal alien invaders. Malibu should be used as a staging area to concentrate and process all the illegal alien invaders in L.A. County.

It has been said that the votes that Hillary Clinton got from Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx, Brooklyn and L.A. County were the votes that gave Hillary her popular vote advantage in the 2016 election. New York City and L.A. are notorious for being “sanctuary cities” for illegal alien invaders.

President Trump should not allow L.A. County and the wealthy enclave of Malibu to thwart the application of U.S. immigration law. L.A. County must be targeted by the proper federal authorities in order to stem the tide of lawlessness that seems to have taken root there. Attorney General Jeff Sessions has the guts and the grim determination necessary to remove all the illegal alien invaders from L.A. County and the United States. President Trump should give the duty to enforce immigration law to Attorney General Sessions. Sessions will get the job done and the country will cheer him on.

A particular vacant lot in downtown Malibu, noted by the author of this blog, would make an excellent spot to bring in batches of illegal alien invaders from the rest of L.A. County for processing before the summary deportation of the illegals. If the batches of illegal alien invaders were to be kept to say, 13,000 per round of mass summary deportation, then that would only slightly inconvenience the residents of Malibu. You could get the processing down to a few hours to keep the buses rolling continuously.

Heavy lift helicopters could also be used in other parts of Malibu to replicate the 13,000 capacity of the vacant lot in downtown Malibu. It seems that deporting between 30 and 40 thousand illegal alien invaders a day through the Malibu processing center would drain L.A. County of illegal alien invaders in no time at all.

A prominent member of the Trump administration was in New Hampshire yesterday. A very distinguished looking man with a full winter beard told this Trump administration person to get rid of Paul Ryan.

I sense a trend on the part of wealthy elites: Open borders for the masses … but walled housing compounds, gated communities, monetary-base segregation for housing and schools, strict zoning laws, private islands, and luxurious extra-territorial sanctuaries on the empty prairies and New Zealand for the wealthiest of them in the New World Order.

However, this shallow and incessant virtue signaling on the part of the elites is becoming boring. It seems they will superficially support all of the popular PC causes, but only if the newly minted immigrants (a.k.a. servants … and that includes us) know their proper place in the social hierarchy and stay on the de facto reservations where they were assigned to live.

But the elites can’t help themselves. It’s “who they are” you know. Among the elect, social class and wealth trump all!

Some of the variation in this list has to do with which states and when took the ACA’s expanded Medicaid.

Yes, good stuff.

There is much to recommend the very simple proposal that upper- and upper-middle-class Americans like immigration because they are more comfortable with foreign servants. It is harder to boss around, in an intimate, home setting, someone who is culturally close to you. We Americans have lacked a sharply hierachical class system like the Brits had, so the sense of distance created by the cultural differance eases the discomfort.

But I noticed as I was writing the paragraph above that I used the tense ‘have lacked’ rather than just ‘lack’. I wonder if one facet of the recent barrage of contempt for the ‘deplorables’ is a nascent reconstituting of a more traditional class system in the USA. It would make life more pleasant for Our Betters if they could simply issue commands, with the natural authority of superior class, to the workmen and contractors and other deplorables with whom they must interact, rather than feel the need to engage with them in the mode of Mr Burns greeting his underlings at the annual company picnic:

Amazing how the addictive appeal of Cheap Docile Domestic Immigrant Labor seems to work the same way in the US, the UK and France...

Apropos:

http://www.weeklystandard.com/the-migrants-of-calais/article/2001284

Even if Paris does not need a middle class, it desperately needs a lower class. Those symbolic analysts require people to chop their sushi, mix their cocktails, dust their apartments, and push their children's strollers and their parents' wheelchairs. This means immigrants — and increasingly it means only immigrants. Because who would you rather have washing your bathtub for 12 euros an hour? A laid-off factory worker who used to get 30 euros an hour and seven weeks' vacation and who is now looking daggers at you? Or a polite woman from Mali, for whom the smell of Formula 409 is the smell of liberation? The banlieues are an integrated part of the world economy. There is now an immigrant-descended petite bourgeoisie. Naturally, as rich people monopolize the private housing stock, poor newcomers monopolize the welfare housing. Far from being a drain on rich people's taxes, these projects provide subsidized housing for their servants. Big problems will eventually come, because there is no next rung on the social ladder onto which the migrants' children can step. But this is not an acute problem just yet. For now, worrying about the banlieues is something of a red herring.

The acute problem is the reconstitution, recomposition, displacement, and — to use a favorite word of Guilluy's — eviction of the native working and middle classes from the productive parts of the urban economy. These natives are locked out of a France that they thought belonged to them. The rich have bid up the price of urban real estate to the point where those from outside the metropolis cannot afford even to rent it. Public housing is not an option because its inhabitants are almost never French and are very often Muslim. To move into it is to become a despised minority in one's "own" country. A question of social class thus turns, poisonously, into a question of ethnic identity and ethnic exclusion.

For instance, although the once ubiquitous legion of servants that had bolstered and helped define British elite and professional-class life began to disappear after the First World War and had all but vanished after the Second, today cheap immigrant domestic workers and a gigantic immigrant-fueled domestic-service industry mean that professional-class home life has become in essential ways more similar to what it was in 1914 than to what it was in 1994. But while the professional class enjoys the benefits mass immigration has brought to Britain, it is largely sheltered from the costs—including the rapid transformation of the character of traditional neighborhoods, the downward pressure on wages, and the fierce competition for public services and housing—that fall nearly exclusively on the English lower-middle and working class.

The old rich don't boss their servants around, and are in fact almost painfully polite and kindly in their dealings with them.A cousin of mine and her husband, each one worth tens of millions, and all of it four to five generations old, proudly introduced me to their middle-aged Mexican maid ("undocumented" after decades in California) and cooed over her (and cute stories about her children) as though she had been their daughter. I didn't tell them that I'd have had her on the first train south in no time.No, it is rather the nouveau riche who boss their servants around, and I am sure that you are right about them - servants of their own race might prove to be their own cousins, and that would be embarrassing.

However, this shallow and incessant virtue signaling on the part of the elites is becoming boring. It seems they will superficially support all of the popular PC causes, but only if the newly minted immigrants (a.k.a. servants … and that includes us) know their proper place in the social hierarchy and stay on the de facto reservations where they were assigned to live.

But the elites can’t help themselves. It’s “who they are” you know. Among the elect, social class and wealth trump all!

Yes, good stuff.

There is much to recommend the very simple proposal that upper- and upper-middle-class Americans like immigration because they are more comfortable with foreign servants. It is harder to boss around, in an intimate, home setting, someone who is culturally close to you. We Americans have lacked a sharply hierachical class system like the Brits had, so the sense of distance created by the cultural differance eases the discomfort.

But I noticed as I was writing the paragraph above that I used the tense 'have lacked' rather than just 'lack'. I wonder if one facet of the recent barrage of contempt for the 'deplorables' is a nascent reconstituting of a more traditional class system in the USA. It would make life more pleasant for Our Betters if they could simply issue commands, with the natural authority of superior class, to the workmen and contractors and other deplorables with whom they must interact, rather than feel the need to engage with them in the mode of Mr Burns greeting his underlings at the annual company picnic:

Hmmmmm. I haven’t gotten the hang of posting videos; maybe I’d do best to leave that to my betters.

Once in the halls of academia, or working in the private sector, minorities still face inequalities. In 2016, the National Science Foundation reported a substantial pay gap between non-Asian minorities and white STEM workers at every level of educational attainment:

Hilarious. Asians, who are a true minority at around 5% don’t count as “minorities” like blacks and latinos who are actually so large that combined they rival whites as a plurality. It’s more and more like South Africa.

Please don't tell me that Malibu does not have Affordable Housing!?! That would be extremely unprogressive and unstylish of them. Is this not mandatory for every liberal leftist communist utopia? I absolutely shall have a case of the vapors if I learn that Malibu does not have affordable housing!! I need to sit down and make a nice cup of tea and get my head around this.

I also am thinking that Laguna Beach does not have Affordable Housing (using upper case b/c this is damned important). No A.H. in Laguna! What the hell kind of liberal leftist communist utopian paradise are they running out there!!??!

I've long thought Trunp should use the housing of refugees , particularly Syrian type refugees, as a weapon, just like Obama did. This seems a perfect opportunity, he should announce he's sending 5000 on Monday, and enjoy the reaction.

Amazing how the addictive appeal of Cheap Docile Domestic Immigrant Labor seems to work the same way in the US, the UK and France…

Even if Paris does not need a middle class, it desperately needs a lower class. Those symbolic analysts require people to chop their sushi, mix their cocktails, dust their apartments, and push their children’s strollers and their parents’ wheelchairs. This means immigrants — and increasingly it means only immigrants. Because who would you rather have washing your bathtub for 12 euros an hour? A laid-off factory worker who used to get 30 euros an hour and seven weeks’ vacation and who is now looking daggers at you? Or a polite woman from Mali, for whom the smell of Formula 409 is the smell of liberation? The banlieues are an integrated part of the world economy. There is now an immigrant-descended petite bourgeoisie. Naturally, as rich people monopolize the private housing stock, poor newcomers monopolize the welfare housing. Far from being a drain on rich people’s taxes, these projects provide subsidized housing for their servants. Big problems will eventually come, because there is no next rung on the social ladder onto which the migrants’ children can step. But this is not an acute problem just yet. For now, worrying about the banlieues is something of a red herring.

Today I learned that Malibu is practically the only part of the CA coast without Amtrak, because of Widow Rindge’s determination to keep outsiders off her Rancho. Which went so far as to entail building a railway, to keep out another railway.

The NIMBY goes back a long way. I think Bolinas in the North is similar.

Upon hearing of the Southern Pacific’s plans, Mr. Rindge decided to build a private railroad through his ranch to keep the bigger railroad company out of his domain. A little-known law prevented duplication of an existing railroad line.

We used to summer back in the Fifties and Sixties in both Laguna Beach and Malibu. The former was infinitely preferable, and I still don’t understand why anybody thought it a good idea to make Malibu anything more than a strip of beach apartments (which, in fact, it basically remains, even if the apartments are now multi-million dollar “homes”).
Laguna was something of an artist’s colony and had a beach which was filled with coves and rock pools teaming with fish and eels and crabs which we used to catch with our bare hands (the eels being the most fun to handle). The housing stock was picturesque and most houses had orange and avocado groves, often frequented by the most beautiful ruby-throated hummingbirds. The restaurants were already French and high quality Italian and Mexican, and the adults would often wear evening dress for cocktail hour. Hollywood’s English colony loved the place and had never heard of Malibu (which, if they went North, they drove through on their way to magical Ojai).
Malibu in contrast had surfers, most of whom were from the Valley.
Enough said.

Been there a few times. What I think is hilarious is how PCH (Pacific Coast Highway) runs right over their heads -- plus the way they're all crammed together, side by side, just so they can be in front of the water.

It's not the real world, and it's not even the best place to be on the beach. The word stupid comes to mind.

Mrs Calvinist and Daughter Calvinist are big Downton Abbey fans (and I like it myself). One question we've debated is how likely it was that a family such as the Crawleys and their household staff would have such a high degree of mutual respect and even affection for each other. Your comments seem to indicate such a scenario was indeed plausible.

BTW, I've not sure I've thanked you for that tip on the Dutch immigration articles. I did indeed pick them up, and they were fascinating; there was quite a bit I did not previously know.

This is actually a pretty sensible policy. What are they going to do, threaten to deport their gardeners, housekeepers, and nannies? It’s not like they’re going to pay whatever the market clearing rate is for Americans to do that work. Since lots with a rundown shack and no view of the ocean go for $2MM, it’s not like illegals are going to be able to afford to live there.

For a contrary view, check out The Quincunx, a subversive recreation of Dickens by Charles Palliser, published in 1986 I think, and compulsively readable.

Delighted to have been of some help.One final anecdote (and please remember that, as John Derbysire has pointed out, the plural of "anecdote" is "data") about old families and their servants (not in my experience a word they ever actually use):My mother's first cousin was the daughter of an English titled aristocrat. There are three or four books about him, so I will not mention his name. This daughter never married and lived her entire life in the spacious and deliciously 1930s house her father had bought her for her 21st birthday. When I visited her there in the early eighties she had living with her an Irish woman some ten or fifteen years older than herself. This turned out to be her childhood nanny, who lived on there until she died, as did her sister who moved in some years later and survived into her nineties. By that time it ws the employer of old who was doing the serving. But it was utterly natural and filled, not merely wth dutiful love, but with laughter and good fun until the end.Now that's noblesse oblige.

A prominent member of the Trump administration was in New Hampshire yesterday. A very distinguished looking man with a full winter beard told this Trump administration person to get rid of Paul Ryan.

President Trump must turn to Attorney General Jeff Sessions for good, solid political advice and wisdom. Now would be an excellent time for President Trump to float the idea of an immigration moratorium to give Sen. Cotton's immigration reduction proposals some running room.

New Hampshire is being inundated with REFUGEE OVERLOAD. President Trump should announce the immediate suspension of all refugee importation and the immediate repatriation of all current refugees.

Wisconsin is #6, Minnesota #35, even though the states are near twins demographically and economically. Something else is going on here as well.

Also, some of these subsidized births may be to married, stay-at-home moms, who'd pay dearly were they to be in the workforce but qualify for Medicaid (or other aid) if not. Smart choice, I'd say. And a rare case where welfare spending might lead to improvement.

I strongly suspect my smart, stay-at-home wife gamed the system for our third child while her far more libertarian husband averted his nauseous glaze. But, hey, if it's a choice between they-pay-for-us or we-pay-for-them...

In this environment, cynicism not only pays, it's necessary for survival!

[…] seat since the watershed year of 1969 to watch the celebrities of Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, and Malibu learn how to exploit environmentalism to drive up their property values and keep out deplorables […]

I always appreciate my readers’ help, especially monetary. Here’s how you can help:

First: You can use PayPal (non-tax deductible) by going to the page on my old blog here. PayPal accepts most credit cards. Contributions can be either one-time only, monthly, or annual.

Second: You can mail a non-tax deductible donation to:

Steve Sailer
P.O Box 4142
Valley Village, CA 91617-0142

Third: You can make a tax deductible contribution via VDARE by clicking here. (Paypal and credit cards accepted, including recurring “subscription” donations.) Note: the VDARE site goes up and down on its own schedule, so if this link stops working, please let me know.

The IRS has issued instructions regarding Bitcoins. I’m having Coinbase immediately turn all Bitcoins I receive into U.S. dollars and deposit them in my bank account. At the end of the year, Coinbase will presumably send me a 1099 form for filing my taxes.

Payments are not tax deductible.

Below are links to two Coinbase pages of mine. This first is if you want to enter a U.S. dollar-denominated amount to pay me.

Fifth: if you have a Wells Fargo bank account, you can transfer money to me (with no fees) via Wells Fargo SurePay. Just tell WF SurePay to send the money to my ancient AOL email address steveslrAT aol.com — replace the AT with the usual @). (Non-tax deductible.) There is no 2.9% fee like with PayPal or Google Wallet, so this is good for large contributions.

Sixth: if you have a Chase bank account (or even other bank accounts), you can transfer money to me (with no fees) via Chase QuickPay (FAQ). Just tell Chase QuickPay to send the money to my ancient AOL email address (steveslrATaol.com — replace the AT with the usual @). If Chase asks for the name on my account, it’s StevenSailer with an n at the end of Steven. (Non-tax deductible.) There is no 2.9% fee like with PayPal or Google Wallet, so this is good for large contributions.

Here’s the Google Wallet FAQ. From it: “You will need to have (or sign up for) Google Wallet to send or receive money. If you have ever purchased anything on Google Play, then you most likely already have a Google Wallet. If you do not yet have a Google Wallet, don’t worry, the process is simple: go to wallet.google.com and follow the steps.” You probably already have a Google ID and password, which Google Wallet uses, so signing up Wallet is pretty painless.

You can put money into your Google Wallet Balance from your bank account and send it with no service fee.

Google Wallet works from both a website and a smartphoneapp (Android and iPhone — the Google Wallet app is currently available only in the U.S., but the Google Wallet website can be used in 160 countries).

Or, once you sign up with Google Wallet, you can simply send money via credit card, bank transfer, or Wallet Balance as an attachment from Google’s free Gmail email service. Here’s how to do it.
